If you Accepted the shift, it is expected that you commit, as you can appreciate we are a small company and serve Weddings and many once in a life time event, that it just isn't have room for no show, unless it's an emergency. We don't penalize on Decline, but generally expecting 70 - 90% acceptance rate.
